Hop BroToday's story is Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa going full festival mode on July 4. It opened at 6 p.m. and even sold beer and chijimi by the station during the Shimokitazawa Music Festival.
MugiWait, station-side chijimi? Craft beer, street food, and live music sounds like a quick stop turning into the whole night!
Hop BroAnd inside they had around 12 taps with both Japanese and imported craft beer on draft. Food ran until midnight, and on Saturday drinks kept going until 4 a.m., which is dangerously convenient.
MugiWhoa, tasting-flight paradise! But Nomcraft's 'Dinosaur Zoo' sounds intense. Is it a beer or a stampede?
Hop BroOnly a flavor stampede. For example, T.Y. Harbor's West Coast Pilsner is crisp and clean, but the hop aroma really jumps out.
MugiHold on, West Coast like geography? If the beer starts using a map, I'm getting lost immediately!
Hop BroBasically it means hop-forward aroma. You get bright citrusy notes and a clean finish, so it stays refreshing while still making a statement.
MugiOkay, then what about Apricot Weizen from Setouchi? That name sounds like a fruit stand crashed into the draft list.
Hop BroA weizen has soft wheat character, so it feels fluffy and easygoing. Add apricot aroma and it becomes a super approachable pint.
MugiAnd the imports include Burnt Mill's 'Fog' and Left Hand's Milk Stout too? What a lineup. It goes from creamy dark beer to hazy stuff without blinking!
Hop BroExactly, and once DDC!'s 'Petit Moral' and 'Rose de Hibiscus' are moving too, you really feel the fast tap turnover this place is known for. If a tap is almost gone, hesitation is the enemy.
MugiThat's it, I need a pint. Music festival, chijimi, then a late-night toast at Festa sounds like the correct life choice.
